Priscilla Renea Hamilton, known professionally as Muni Long, was born on September 14, 1988, in Gifford, Florida. She began singing at a young age and gained initial traction by posting videos of herself singing on YouTube, which led to an appearance on MTV’s “Say What? Karaoke.” In 2009, she signed with Capitol Records under her birth name, releasing her debut album, “Jukebox,” which, despite critical acclaim, did not achieve significant commercial success. This period marked her early efforts as a recording artist while she simultaneously developed her songwriting capabilities.
Following her debut album, Long dedicated over a decade to songwriting for other artists. Her credits include notable singles such as Cheryl’s “Promise This” (2010), Rihanna’s “California King Bed” (2010), Fifth Harmony’s “Worth It” (2015), Kelly Clarkson’s “Love So Soft” (2017), Ariana Grande’s “Imagine” (2019), and Pitbull’s global hit “Timber” (2013). This extensive work established her as a prominent force behind many chart-topping songs across various genres, demonstrating her versatility and impact within the music industry. During this time, she also collaborated vocally with artists like B.o.B on “John Doe” (2013) and Diplo on “Be Right There” (2015).
In 2019, she adopted the stage name Muni Long and shifted focus back to her solo career, independently releasing music through her co-founded label, Supergiant Records. Her 2021 single, “Hrs and Hrs,” became a sleeper hit, peaking within the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100. This breakthrough led to a partnership with Def Jam Recordings in 2022 and earned her a Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards. Her subsequent EPs, “Public Displays of Affection” (2021) and “Public Displays of Affection Too” (2022), and her third studio album, “Public Displays of Affection: The Album” (2022), further cemented her status. Her 2023 single, “Made for Me,” also charted within the Billboard Hot 100’s top 20, preceding her fourth album, “Revenge” (2024), which was nominated for Best R&B Album at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards. Long has also established a fashion identity, collaborating with celebrity stylist Jason Rembert.
